'''Strider''', or '''Stick-at-naught Strider''', was a nickname given to [[Aragorn]] by the people of northern [[Middle-earth]] (as for example at [[Bree]]) during his time as a [[Rangers of the North|Ranger]]. The name seems to refer to the long legs of the Rangers, who were of [[Númenor|Númenorean]] blood, compared to the shorter-legged [[Bree-men]]. Though Aragorn considered the name scornful, he took it as the name of his royal house: translated into [[Quenya]], it became [[Telcontar]].
